Amen!

Got mine, too. We all must have ordered the same hour...

"Way For A Sailor" (1934), the movie, is a blustering bore...!

R Michael Pyle

Notice that it's the middle name. I suppose that means "hollow center"...

I recently finished the Warren William bio, and it was definitely worth the read and the money. Extremely neglected actor deserves this book! I finished only this morning another that's not on the list, but it may hold some interest, too: More than a Dream: Re-Discovering the Life and Films of Vilma...

Pretty sure the Hoppy film is "Hoppy Serves a Writ" (1943).

The missus has asked me which movies I want for Christmas. I could give her a list of a couple hundred!!! Any suggestions based on what you guys have watched recently? The WB Archive releases of Golden Dawn and Madam Satan , natch! An ample supply of your preferred tipple, to be applied while watch...

Whenever this topic comes up, I am always reminded of William Shakespeare. He was enormously popular in his writing days - and acting days - but his plays faded after about 75 years. The poet laureate, Colley Cibber (anybody remember this guy??!!), re-wrote many of his plays about 100 years later, a...

"The Schoolteacher And The Waif" (1912) is a Mary Pickford short that has marvelous evocation of the early one room school-house.

Can anyone tell me what locations might have either of Bogart's early films "A Devil with Women" (1930) or "Body and Soul" (1931)? LOC doesn't list them, although that doesn't mean they don't have them. The first film actually stars Victor McLaglen and the second Charles Farrell. I'm wondering what ...

I thought it a waste of my time, sort of like the Henry Fonda "Way Down East" from 1935. Both originals blow the re-makes away.

Simply fascinating!! Thanks, Bruce!

Super article, Rodney!

I recently bought "Silk Husbands and Calico Wives" and enjoyed it up to a point. However, I could only find it on VHS. Did you find it on DVD? Also, "Excuse My Dust" is available, along with "The Roaring Road" as a double from Unknown Video. Good films, both of them. I'm a huge Wallace Reid fan. I w...

There are two copies, beginning at $138 here:

Sure does!

R Michael Pyle

Yes, thank you! I can't stand the new format, plus it gets rid of a lot of information unless you press certain buttons to get all of them!! Stupid! Not a good plan at all.

But, again, thanks for letting me know how to get the original look!

Actually, Doris Kenyon was in some decent sound films. She's awful in "Interference" (1928), about the only character who hadn't quite learned sound technique in this early squeaker, but the film is slow moving anyway; but watch her in things like "Whom the Gods Destroy" (1934) with Walter Connolly:...

When TNT showed the film back in the late 80's, early 90's, the color sequence was definitely IN IT! I recorded it and still have it. It's there. I'm really surprised if suddenly TCM is showing an all b & w version??!! In fact, perplexed...

C'mon, Gagman, one of the prerequisites of joining this site was to be a bird kisser. If you're not, then we've got some serious business to attend to - not the least of which is ending in prepositions!

I think "Give Me Your Heart" is her best performance, but I love "Confession", too. I'll even take her in crap like Bogie's "King of the Underworld". At least she's in it, and so's he!

I'm curious: I watched this last night and wondered if anyone here could possibly tell me the production dates. It was released 6 April 1930, but appears to me to be an earlier production. Am I all wrong? Anyway, here's a review I placed somewhere else, and in case you're curious about this - I want...

I have one more to watch and I'll have gone through all of them over the last two weeks myself. Great set! I must say, after watching the Jeremy Bretts, I thought these would fade. No way! These are every bit as good, just not as faithful to the original medium. Nigel Bruce still is wonderful, even ...

"Sweedie the Laundress" is indeed bizarre, but the more you watch it - including a second and a third time - it's actually not bad. The "problem" - and indeed it can be - is Beery in drag!

Frankly, I'm thankful for the article. In the whole world today, there are only about 20,000-30,000 of us silenteers left. Out of 6,000,000,000...

Sorry, I think the original is a far, far better film. Lorre is simply great! And Nova Pilbeam is good, too. I think Edna Best is so-o underrated. Can't stand the remake at all. It's my least favorite James Stewart film except for "Pot o' Gold"...

I was given a copy of this film a few years ago by a friend. I wrote this review of the film on her site: "Thanks to Jill, I watched a short western film that starred the future star director Frank Borzage. Borzage also directed this little film. The film is entitled "The Pitch o' Chance" (1915), an...

"Lightning Hutch" is a serial, and it's in really wonderful condition. Virginia Pearson is good in this show, too. Well worth seeking out. It's out on a fine DVD.

R Michael Pyle

I definitely want one. Congrats, Donna!
